True, it all does work with ASCII, but doesn't that mean every API call needs a conversion internally, (if it uses chars, that is..)? My understanding was that this causes a performance hit, since every fooA(char* bar) call would require a runtime conversion of "*bar" to unicode, and mapping to fooW(wchar_t* bar), am I wrong? Nonetheless, I kinda do need the extended set, since I live in a galaxy far, far away ;) Aaron W. LaFramboise wrote: "Its not difficult to get working, if you try at it for a while." Any possibility that you could give me a few hints as to how? :) Anyway, thanks for the replies. Torben Poder |
